• Target description: LINE-1 retrotransposable element ORF1 protein (UniProt: Q9UN81; also known L1ORF1p, LINE retrotransposable element 1, LINE1 retrotransposable element 1) is encoded by the LIRE1 (also known as LRE1) gene in human. LINE1-ORF 1P is a homotrimeric protein of the transposase 22 family that can also form larger homooligomers. It is mainly a cytoplasmic protein and is enriched in stress granules, but may also be detected in the nucleolus. It contains a coiled coil domain that mediates its homotrimerization. Its RNA recognition motif (RRM) (aa 157-252) in the C-terminal domain are required for its proper RNA-binding activity. LINE1-ORF 1P serves as a nucleic acid-binding protein that is essential for retrotransposition of LINE-1 elements in the genome. It is also reported to function as a nucleic acid chaperone binding its own transcript and therefore preferentially mobilizing the transcript from which they are encoded. Retrotransposition is a shown to be a complex process that involves transcription of the LINE1, transport of its RNA to the cytoplasm, translation of the bicistronic RNA, formation of a ribonucleoprotein particle, its re-import to the nucleus and then target-primed reverse transcription at the integration site. LINE1-ORF 1P expression is consistently detected in p53 mutant tumors, but, little or no expression is detected in Wilms tumors that were normal for p53. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
